Encore Presentation of May 9, 2026 Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Saturdays from 9 am to 10 am MT. https://FixItRadio.com This episode of Fix It Radio takes a powerful and deeply practical look at one of the most overlooked aspects of homeownership—personal and home security. What hidden vulnerabilities around your home could criminals already be noticing? Are overgrown bushes, unlocked side doors, garage windows, or predictable routines quietly putting your family at risk? John Rush and Larry Unger walk through real-world stories involving porch thefts, suspicious strangers, stalking incidents, garage break-ins, and even tragic personal experiences that reinforce why homeowners can no longer afford to ignore situational awareness. The episode explores inexpensive but effective ways to harden a home mechanically before spending money on electronics—everything from securing garage doors with vise grips to reinforcing sliding doors, improving locks, and identifying blind spots around the property. The conversation also includes fascinating discussions about smart deadbolt technology, layered home security systems, personal safety while fueling vehicles, and why burglars often avoid homes with dogs. The show repeatedly stresses that true protection is not about paranoia—it’s about preparation, awareness, and slowing criminals down long enough to deter them altogether. Whether you live in a townhome, suburb, or rural acreage, today’s world requires vigilance, preparation, and practical common sense.
